You may consider looking into a program called Simics. It is a machine
simulator that lets you run a variety of platforms on a variety of hosts.
Some the architectures they simulate are x86 and PPC. You could try to
get Darwin to run on the x86 simulator. If you are a student of a
university, you can get a free licence for a year. The program also
supports debugging of system code and cycle accurate timing statistics.
